AP: E-Mail Worm Snarls Computers Around Globe

My spin: Did you get this virus? I got so many email messages, carrying this virus, however as I did not open them I did not get infected. An e-mail worm that looks like a normal error message but actually contains a malicious program continued to snarl computers around the world on Tuesday.
MessageLabs Inc., which scans e-mail for viruses, said 1 in every 12 messages contained the worm, called “Mydoom” or “Novarg.” Security experts described it as the largest virus-like outbreak in months, one made more problematic by its timing.
